Trusted by payroll professionals globally.
What’s standing in the way of smoother payroll runs?
PAIN POINT #1
Manual payroll work creates unnecessary pressure every pay cycle
For payroll professionals, even routine tasks can become time-consuming when employee updates, leave data, timesheets and pay-related information need to be checked or chased across multiple systems. That manual handling increases the risk of delays, inconsistencies and last-minute issues at exactly the point accuracy matters most.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero helps reduce repetitive payroll admin by improving how employee changes, leave information and payroll inputs are captured and managed, making each pay cycle easier to run with accuracy and confidence.
PAIN POINT #2
Staying on top of compliance can feel like a constant moving target
Payroll teams are expected to get every detail right, from record-keeping, pension and National Insurance obligations to employee entitlements and audit-ready documentation. When information is incomplete, scattered or manually maintained, it becomes harder to validate what’s correct and keep a clear trail behind payroll decisions.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero helps payroll teams maintain cleaner records, stronger visibility and more reliable documentation, making it easier to support compliance requirements and reduce risk.
PAIN POINT #3
Limited visibility makes payroll issues harder to catch early
When key payroll-related information sits across spreadsheets, inboxes and disconnected systems, it’s harder to spot missing details, identify changes that affect pay or stay ahead of potential issues before payroll is processed. That lack of visibility can create unnecessary stress and make payroll harder to manage proactively.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero gives payroll professionals clearer oversight of employee information, leave and pay-impacting changes, helping surface discrepancies earlier and flag potential issues before they flow through to payroll.
Ready to automate your pay runs?
Automated contract rules to handle complex pay conditions

Employment Hero eliminates manual checking by building employment contract rules straight into the platform. Bank holiday pay, shift allowances and statutory entitlements are calculated automatically based on the exact hours your people work. Instead of cross-checking individual or collective contract rules against statutory holiday regulations, your team gets consistent calculations that flow directly into the pay run, reducing compliance risk.
A unified system connecting timesheets, leave and pay runs

Employment Hero brings your critical workforce data together into one unified platform. Approved timesheets and leave requests submitted via the mobile app flow automatically into the active pay run. This removes data re-keying and manual spreadsheet transfers, allowing payroll teams to spend less time piecing data together and more time reviewing exceptions.
Employee self-service to keep payroll records current

Employment Hero centralises employee data and gives your team structured update workflows. Staff can update their bank details, tax details, workplace pension options and personal information directly through the app, which instantly updates the central system. This cuts out back-and-forth email chains while ensuring you have an accurate, live source of truth for every pay cycle.
Automated audit trails for stress-free compliance reporting

Employment Hero automatically tracks and logs every pay run adjustment, approval and record change. All supporting documentation and payroll data live securely in one place, making historical records easy to retrieve. Built-in reporting tools give you instant visibility over workforce costs and leave liabilities, ensuring your organisation is always ready for audits.
